As someone who started right out of school, it took years for my income to start to surpass some of the more experienced operators. No its not hundreds of thousands but it’s in that 70,000 to 90,000 range for people who don’t sleep on OT.
Yeah, but you shouldn’t have to work OT in order to make a livable wage. People should have a work/life balance where they aren’t going home from work and immediately falling asleep.
It’s there, honestly, I’d work OT while being a salaried employee. But your attitude towards it is the exact reason people don’t want these manufacturing jobs. So you’re only proving my point.
Where I am, 70-90 k is an absolute shit salary is my point. It might be great where you are, but where I am, that’s not buying you a house. That’s about what our more senior technicians make, but the entry level guys make like $25-28/hr. Almost every office job at our company pays more. I love turning bolts, but it’s objectively harder work for less money, and that is why I don’t want those jobs.

Where do live? Not exact location but rural or major Metropolitan area? It matters a lot.
I’m surrounded by tech companies and a crack house costs $1.4 mil
